Let’s focus on the changing expectations of transportation-related communication networks as connected vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and smart city technologies continue to be deployed and integrated into citywide and regional infrastructures. C/AV and smart cities will have a high dependence on existing and envisioned transportation communication networks for critical data sharing, distribution of information to both vehicles and drivers, and other intelligent system linkages. Creative partnerships and processes will be needed to build, manage, and operate these new multi-agency, multi-tasked communication systems and networks. This presentation will identify some major areas of concern and highlight possible steps to manage the challenges of collaboration between diverse parties that have different missions and needs, but who can achieve the right balance together.
